If the team color is one of the 125 listed on the side of the 'post a reply' page, you can just type it up in your program w/o the code and quickly highlight/select once you copy/paste the text into the reply box - quick enough. =-)



TBH it's a bit of a moot point for me anyway, since Caleb has no need to speak in shorthand. It seems it's been decided, so... *shrugs* ;)

I'm fine with green, but can we have a more muted tone? Like this, or this, or this.

You're right; those are easier to see than what I put in. Very well, my vote goes to that first one.

(At least, that's what I tried to set up in my post. I figured that would be best since, if Will knew he could smoosh himself through walls, I imagine he would have been bugging him about breaking them out for a while, and if Stark knew the same, they probably would have done something unfortunate too him to keep him contained. If anyone thinks something else would be more feasible, let me know.)

:( Aww man, I'm in the doghouse now...

Post in the works!

(Speaking of which--is C-block sound-proof? Kayje's map suggests that the door to the block isn't very thick, but I couldn't remember of this had been mentioned someplace already...)

Will's ESP trick means he knows a lot more than people think, but I will re-write when I get the time.

You probably wouldn't have picked this up unless you read all three of the McF posts, but it's early afternoon, just after lunchtime, not morning.

Also, with most of the "escapes" under way, question for you all:
McF has a shortlist (and I have a sub-list from that) of people who he wants (I feel should) be prevented from escaping, for medical/ethical/moral(/RP) reasons. So, should I:
-post that list here for people to see?
-just tell the Stark/Circe people so they know who to "focus" on?
-keep it a secret and admin-mod captures with NPCs and all?

Also, @Van:
I just noticed your char was updated a while ago. Gotta run ATM, but will try to respond later today.
Also, if one of my helper-mod people wants to weigh in, it'd be appreciated.

At the very least, please tell us if we're on the list.

A list here, or at least telling Stark/Circe people so they know whether they have anything to do other than reading because [i]someone[/s] decided they would make a character with whom it is difficult to know what exactly to do with...;)

I may be wrong about this, but it's my understanding that your average smoldering doesn't give off enough smoke to set off fire alarms; if it did, grandma wouldn't be able to cook steaks the way she does without setting off ours.

Thoughts/comments/second opinions?

hey, since i have been absent for some time, i have thought how i can get back into the RP. Nezeret could have gotten a late effect from the chemicals and got knocked out, making him go into a sleep that lasted until now, that will be about 6 days, where they moved him to another cage in the cage room. Would this be okay?

It need not be actual smoke (it can't be, in fact, since pure hydrogen and oxygen don't produce any when they react); I just figured that with all of the work that Stark/Circe put into monitoring equipment in C-block, I'm sure they'd have something that could detect an explosion big enough to bring down parts of the ceiling. It may even have been manually triggered by the folks behind the mirror.

You do make a good point from that premise, but I'm unsure about your logic. Specifically, it doesn't allow for the fact that this "escape" was staged by Dr. M, and that he's had a week or more to prepare for it.

IF such an alarm existed in the first place, it may have been deactivated.

IF there's anyone behind the mirror, they may have been given orders not to interfere.

...And since this debate so far seems to consist of nothing but assumptions, I think it's time to call for a command decision. What say you, Cy? Did Will's "bottle-rocket" set off any alarms? :lol:

My two cents would be that a lack of alarm would be incredibly suspicious. Just because the guards have been ordered to respond half-heartedly, doesn't mean they're going to make things seem easy to the escapees.

Deactivating alarm systems would be, as Dante says, suspicious, but more importantly incredibly dangerous. I mean, we're underneath a lake :P There are some things that really need to set off alarms. It's more likely that a select number of automatic systems may be offline to make it easier for the escapees to get out, and Stark/Circe staff have been given special instructions for how to respond to different alarms, but the alarms themselves are still in place in case something goes wrong.

Yeah, turning off the fire alarms with Will running loose is bound to cause trouble, I mean, they're one of the best ways to keep track of him :P

So how are those of us in the cage room going to escape? We are all in pretty secure cells, and as much as I'm sure Anmar would love to skewer Quincy (assuming she could get wood, which she can't right now), that would be poor manners.

To Kayje, I mean.

Wait, what if Quincy removed Anmar from the cage for... whatever reason, testing I suppose, and then she managed to get the upper hand long enough to disable him? I'm asking because Quincy's a trained guard so I'm not sure a few years of eskrima is enough training to escape.

Well, if you want to do that, I guess that's okay.... Personally I don't see why you'd have to pretend your character was "out" for some reason during that time period, though. (It's not like people in the cage room RPed much anyway, though I do think everyone should continue RPing under the assumption that there have been three or so days of "task"-ing before the current threads.)

Re: The list
I'll PM both those on it and the Stark/Circe people.

Re: Ax
Kayje specifically asked for Quincy to be in the cage room during the escape, so he's got something planned. So until the point the current escapees appear with their security cards, (if that happens,) I'd just go with whatever direction he seems to be pushing the thread in. ;-)
And she would not "get the upper hand" on him unless she was working with at least one other person. btw Your posts have gone back to being too short

Re: everything else:
I'm going with the idea that the O2 - H2 explosion did not set off the fire alarms. However, since the structures containing test subjects must remain secure, some sort of alarm will be going off. I'm thinking that a security problem wouldn't be a facility-wide alarm, mostly b/c I don't think McF would want any one set of experiments (teams, individual prisoners, animals, etc.) to be stressed by an alarm triggered by a problem that shouldn't get outside 'its area' in the facility.
That said, all Stark (and some Circe) members would have to be alerted to any security problem. Since I've already established (in RP posts) that all Stark/Circe members have 'communicators' (I'm thinking way-high-tech walkie-talkies), that's how security alerts are spread - though there is protocol (as yet unneeded) that says if a problem gets big enough, a facility-wide alarm will sound.
tl;dr - The explosion did set off an alarm, but one that only is heard over employee-exclusive communicators.

Gotcha. So nothing would be heard from down the hallway, and I should edit my post?

Not entirely true; you might hear Sabra screaming your name. :lol:
